Overview

Cross-sectional exploratory study demonstrates low clinical reasoning skills in second-phase medical students, highlighting the need for targeted educational interventions.

Key Points

  • Undergraduate medical students achieved a mean score of 42.5 on clinical reasoning skills, and only 29.6 percent scored at or above the designated benchmark.
  • A cross-sectional exploratory study assessed 105 undergraduate medical students using key feature questions with a validated partial credit scoring system.
  • Highlights substantial deficits in clinical reasoning skills among second-phase students, whereas perceived autonomy and previous marks showed positive links.
